AN ADVENTURE IN NEW YORK.
The Experience of a Pretty Youns Woman Who Attempted to Commit Suicide.

The Experience of a Pretty Young l Woman Who Attempted to Commf, | Suicide.
 1 NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Among the adven. l lures of Mrs. Sadie Sidelinger, the pretty
 young woman who recently attempted suicide 1 in Boston, was one which caused her to be detained for time last June in the house of detention for witnesses in this city. Accord
 ing to Mrs. Sidelinger's own account as tele-
 graphed, she had been taken to 29 Rivington
 street by hackman who represented it to be
 respectable boarding house. Late at night
 she says she discovered it's true character and
 tried to get away, but was assaulted by the
 proprietress and several inmates A police
 man finally arrived on the scene and she was then held as a witness. After her release she was married to Alfred Sidelinger of Bos- ton Mrs. Sidelinger admitted that on this occasion she gave an assumed name and the police remember some such case that occurred on May 31 last at the house mentioned, The woman in question gave the name of Olive Sutton. She was brought to the Eldridge street station house by the officer on post faint and weak from the beating she had received and Caroline Whitpen, the proprietress, was arrested and afterwards held 1n $1, 900 bail for trial. The case was never disposed of, however, and the police believe that the Sutton woman simply quar- relied with Mrs. Whitpen while drunk and made the charge to get even. They did not look upon her as pattern of virtue. Olive Sutton did not say anything about having been taken to the house in a cab A police sergeant who saw her shortly after her re- lease says she told him she had been married out West, but had run away from her hus- band, although she confessed herself to blame. She said she was going to Boston to live with respectable sister there.

A Deserted Wife Returns After Thirty
 Years to Contest the Will of Her
 Husband.
 PROVIDENCE, Dec. 30.-The late Joseph Knight of this city separated from his wife some thirty years ago but did not get di- vorce from her. Some little time after he married another woman, although at the time he and his friends believed Mrs. Knight No. to be alive. It appears that in 1884 Knight made will in favor of the woman with whom he was then living. Two years later he seems to have bethought him of his first and true wife and made Q new will in favor of her and his children by her, but al- though he searched high and low he could not find the will first drawn. After his death the last will he made was admitted to pro- bate, but contested by jury trial in the Su- preme court by Mrs. Knights No. ? children, their mother having also died, and the will annulled. Then the first will turned up from its hiding place and was this morning by No. 2s children. No. Is children appeared to contest it, and with them one Mrs. Sarah B. Braley. When the latter was sworn g sensation was created by the discovery that she was no other than the first and lawful Mrs. Knight After separation from her husband thirty years ago she was married to Braley on in- formation that Knight was dead. Braley subsequently, died and she was on hand to fight for Knights small fortune in favor of her children against what now appear to be Knight Mo- ?. Decision will be made on T7aadav

 READING, Pa. Dec 30 - The situation tonight remains practically unchanged as far as the Reading railroaders are concerned. The road contin- ues in full operation and the shop hands show no disposition to strike at any time The Knights are evidently losing ground in this vicinity. This week three trades unions withdrew from the order in this city and will be mustered into membership with the trade and labor council of the Federation of Labor, the rival of the Knights Seven hundred men on the Shamokin and Mahan-- oy divisions at Shamokin, Mahanoy Plains and Ashland struck to- day. This may pre- vent the sl pment of coal for while, even if the mine continued. The Reading con- vention's oi er to strike seems to have been obeyed in t coal regions alone.

A REPUBLICAN TARIFF BILL

To Take the Tax off Articles of Every
 Day Consumption Without Disturb
 ing Needed Protection
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 0-Representatiye Browne of Indiana, who was a member of the ways and means committee in the last Congress, and will again be member, is pre- paring tariff bill which he proposes to sub- init to his colleagues on the Republican side of the House for their approval as a substi- tute for any tariff bill the Democrats may bring in. He thinks there is chance of the Democrats bringing into the House tariff bill of such character that the Republicans could not afford to vote against it and then whatever credit occurred from the measure would go to the Democrats. He proposes that the Republicans shall have bill of their own and then if the Democrats adopt one of the same sort the Republicans can claim they first made the suggestion. His bill is not quite ready, but he expects to complete it in time to submit to his party friends and get it to the ways and means committee before they have time to report 8 bill. In character it will differ widely from what is liable to be taken by the Democrats as compromise. It will propose tke repeal of the tobac- co tax and of the entire duty on duty on some grades of wool or probably place the coarser grades on the free list. The aim will be to take the tax off articles enter ing into every day consumption as far as possible without disturbing ''needed protee- tion."

A Train Goes Through a Bridge,

oL CTTY, Pa., Dec. 30.-A mixed train on the Pittsburg and Western railroad composed of seven freight and twenty passenger cars went through trestle near St. Petersburg this evening aud was precipitated thirty feet to the bottom of gully. Almost instantly the wreck took fire from the car stoves and in short time the wreck was mass of flames. The passengers all succeeded in get ting out of the wreck and no loss of life has been reported. Those seriously injured were: James Rulings, Edenburg, Pa.; A. Kisson, Elk City, Pa.; John Atkinson, Parker, Pa. {; D. Hilliere, Edenburg; w Ham, St. Peters burg, and D. White, Foxburg It is supposed that several of the cars loaded with bark were too heavy and overbalanced and when the train struck the trestle the cars capsized, breaking down two spans of the bridge A remarkable feature of the affair was that the entire train including the tender went down, leaving the engine on the track with the en- gineer and fireman in their seats
